Rob Hall Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 What's vinyl? Long before my time, I'm afraid...I have about 20 years worth of CDs, but I've ripped most of them onto my computer and iPod, and my modeling room is my home office, so the rare times that I do model, I listen to music off the computer (I have a nice pair of speakers and a subwoofer for it). Mostly '80s-present rock/alternative rock, some classic rock, some jazz and blues, a little hip-hop..
Jairus Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 What's vinyl? Records, discs, wax, albums, LP's... it's all vinyl to me! The best way to listen to "Zoso" or "Animals" or "Sgt Pepper" or "Pet Sounds" as far as I am concerned!! (I can do this alllll dayyyyy! )
Rob Hall Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Atleast no one said Air Amerika :mrgreen: I used to listen to Air America all the time on my commute..too bad they went bankrupt.

Darrell Gwinn Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 To me cars and music goes hand in hand, so when it comes to models i usually have something playing and it help me focus and get more into a project, for instance if im building a muscle car ill usually be listening to classic rock cause to me it defines that era, plus ive heard stories of my dad cruisin around town in either one of his 67/68 camaros or a v8 vega with AC/DC cranked up so thats an influence as well. haha so do you any of you use music as inspiration in anyway or am i just weird and alone on this subject.
LVZ2881 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 I actually try to turn the tv off and the radio on when i build. I've found that its easier to concentrate on the model whens the tv's off. I've been listening alot lately to yahoo streaming radio, i can customize the playlist to play only stuff i like, which varies from Tool, to Metallica, to Pantera, to Steve miller and the Who, to Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks and Johnny Cash.

bobss396 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 I do have a 5-disc CD player, but eventually even that has to be reloaded after a few hours, so if I'm in the modeling groove, I opt for silence. FM radio is horrible, TV (except for the Daytona 500 coming up, yeah!) is too distracting. I build in my finished basement, so I get by with listening to house sounds like the oil burner, water running somewhere, a floor creaking above. Bob
CAL Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 silence is good half the time. The other half I listen to well we have a large library.

evilone Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 depends if its a rat rod any oldies if its a lowrider any old school rap if its a hot rod any metal
RyanSilva Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 80's thrash and speed metal, 90's death and black metal, some 70'sclassic rock, i work best when i got my songs playing on the computer.
bobss396 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 I do have LIVE music once in a while. My son has his guitars and drums in the "living room" part of the basement. He'll come down to play and practice almost every time I'm there and he's very good. He plays mostly heavy metal like Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Megadeth, older AC/DC. If he wants to crank up the Marshall amp or get into the drum kit, I have concert quality ear plugs that filter out the bad noise. Bob
Junkman Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 When I build American cars: George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers, Eric Sardinas, Ry Cooder, Johnny Winter, Hounddog Taylor, Ashton Gardner and Dyke, or some nice country like Chet Atkins, Alan Jackson or bluegrass like The Dillards. When I build classics: Max Raabe und das Palast Orchester, Marlene Dietrich, all kinds of hits and dance floor music from the 20s and 30s. When I build European cars: Schubert or Haydn or Bach. I don't like Mozart and Beethoven though. When I build English cars: Dr. Feelgood (from when Lee Brilliaux was still among us), Monthy Python, Sex Pistols - you get the picture. When I build motorcycles: AC/DC (especially from when Bon Scott was still alive), Mötörhead, etc. When I build hot rods: 50s and 60s rock'n'roll, or gothabilly like the Coffin Shakers, etc. When I build TV/movie cars: TV and film tunes, mainly by Lalo Shifrin. When I build sci-fi stuff (like the Aoshima Cyber Formulas, etc.): Techno. I'm particularily fond of travel hop and house. Gosh does this list make me appear old, dunnit?
Peter Lombardo Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Amazing, you guys can list all of those bands and artists. I am willing to bet that no one else listens to what I normally listen to while modeling. I, if it is music, usually listen to Acoustic Alchemy (CD playing right now as a matter of fact) or Pat Metheny, or sometimes 60’s rock (it is my age, I grew up with that stuff). If TV, I am a British Comedy junky. I play DVD’s of Fawlty Towers (from the 1970’s), League of Gentleman (amazingly witty stuff), Little Britain (Funny, Funny two man team), The office (Original British version only, U.S. copy is ######), Extras (the two guys that wrote and starred in the Office) and of course Absolutely Fabulous. In all cases I have the complete series and I can “lip sync†along with the lines of everything so I do not have to watch. I realize that this selection is weird, but it floats my strange little boat.
gasman Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 I rarely ever listen to music while I build I usually have the TV on. If I do then I usually have either my iPod going or its through iTunes on my computer. and its a mix of alot of stuff. mostly modern country (Tim MaGraw, alot of Rascal Flatts (favorite Band). some 90's alternative rock. (Third Eyed Blind, 3 Doors Down, Matchbox Tewnty) a little bit of modern rock, some Metalica, some rap/rock (Limp Bizkit. Kidd Rock, Linken Park), little Johnny Cash, and a very little bit of early 2000's rap (eminem, Dr Dre, Nelly), none of this newer rap ###### that out there. no 80's 'hair' bands, I hate that stuff, right now i'm listening to Billy Joel, for some unknown reason I'm really into his music right now.
Darrell Gwinn Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Ha, I love this, we're all over the place with the different genres of music!
curt raitz Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 I just pop the ipod in the stereo, set it on shuttle and let'er play everything from country-hip hop-grunge-classic rock-heavy metal-rock-reggae-punk-blues...etc my favorite song when removing paint..."The Stripper" by the David Rose Orchestra
colin Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Bob Dylan (love his latest cd, Modern Times), Eric Clapton, J.J. Cale, James Taylor, Pink Floyd, Nathalie Merchant.

I basically listen to anything you do! I love me rock, (Airbourne, AC/DC, Boston, Guns N Roses, The Clash, Cash, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alabama, Queen, Led Zepp, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Mountain, SCOTS, Alice in Chains, STP, Tool, etc) Weird Al! bluegrass, (Osbourne Brothers, Scruggs, Flatts, Statler Brothers, Dan Tyminski etc) and oldies and some of the REAL rap, (Dr Dre, Tupac, Eminem, Quad City DJ's) Edited February 15, 2008 by Nick F40
FactoryStock54 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 I am a musician and composer by trade and I agree; cars and music go hand in hand! I've toyed with the idea of creating a kind of auto-juke box in which cars each have their own theme music (preferably from the year they were produced); so, say a '55 Chevy Bel Air would light up and you'd hear "Sh'boom," or "String of Pearls" for the '49 Merc or "Gimme Shelter" for a '69 Charger etc etc etc. I like listening to music when I build; classic rock seems to fit well with cars, while 20th-century classical music works well with aircraft and armor. . .
oldcars Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Anything that will play on a turntable. Still living in the 50's and 60's. ROCK ON! Richard
mademan Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 for me its basically anything,I listen to a wide array of music from slipknot, finger eleven, seether, three days grace, to something corporate, and jacks manequin, social code, faber drive, kanye west and alot of other underground tyepe punk stuff.
FordRodnKustom Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Can't say that any one type of music "inspires" me to build. Usually about three cups of good coffee on a stormy Saturday or Sunday morning gets me going.
Nick F40 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Hey, Mark,, didn't know you listened to country ??? I'm putting a link to a friend of mine's band below,, I'd like you to check it out. [youtube page actually] They'r the Devorcees ,, I've known the singer, Alex Madsen, for years. They took country album of the year at the East Coast Music Awards last week ,, We're quite proud of them. If you like Waylen, Willie and Hank Jr. you might dig this. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...mp;search_type= Ahhh, you mean the REAL country. I love those guys. I like them, they are pretty good.
Raul_Perez Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Though I play guitar, I like total silence when I'm building. Any background noise is just a distraction for me...but, then I'd have something to blame the next time I glue my fingers to the paint.
